How did you get a yellow weapon at level 7?

It's not Freedom Fighters, but I like it. Pre-ordered on PC.
i think he means green?
Alot of times they spawn near landmarks and extractions, but just keep running around and you'll run into some. They upped the spawn rate of AI so you should be finding them pretty often.

Well it would explain why he died so easily.
you probably want to run a circuit of landmarks.
division tech, the library, and the sport equipment store are good places, and sometimes there's enemies in that contaminated zone in the top left corner of the map.

I always get killed whenever they get cornered. Cornered animal syndrome is real. ._.
Yep. So annoying when someone outruns you
Or someone that you didn't know was there comes around the corner while you're trying to rush up steps/building/high-place to give them a goodchase for the 15 second stray shot timer.
I pushed a couple times on a pack of cornered rogues who had gone up on a high ground place, just to keep their timers up. eventually other players showed up and we all pushed together and I got everything I lost back and then some.

This game is so weird. I go from loving it to hating it to being bored with it and then back to loving it all within an hour.

I feel dumb for not scrolling down on the video options menu...I did not know there were so many more options to crank up. After I did that, the game went from looking meh to looking very nice. Sure it doesn't look as good (to me anyways) compared to what we were shown a few years ago, but I'm still pleased with how good it looks. I think I have everything at max except for AA and am getting mostly 60 fps @ 1440p. I've noticed dips down to around 52-53 fps in some areas.
4790k @ 4.5ghz
16gb ddr3 ram
980ti ~10% or so OC.
The game itself is fun to play, especially when I got my hands on a bolt action rifle with a decent scope. Now I have to venture into the dark zone, but, I'm a big scaredy cat. I don't know if I would drop $60 on it at launch, but I'll probably pick it up when it hits $40 on sale.

So I got myself stuck and I have no clue how to get out. I thought exiting and relaunching the game would get me out of my little area where I'm stuck but no I was right back in it when the game reloaded. I tried to kill myself too but I can't seem to do it.
EDIT: nvm I was able to kill myself. But man that was ridiculous.

progress in the beta doesn't transfer to the main release, does it?

Nope. This is always the weirdest question to me. I can't think of one beta I played where they actually did this, yet people ask every time.

i don't play a lot of betas.
When you're rogue and getting chased down by like 2 different groups, but you go in the sewers and nobody knows where you are

Maybe I missed something, but I'm kind of at a loss about what I'm supposed to be doing in the Dark Zone.
kill everything, extract drops, buy from vendors. Wreck or get wrecked.
Hmm? What folder?

On XB1 how do I make Dark Zone randoms voices play through my chat headset instead of my TV speakers? This is the only game that sends it to the TV.
Specifically to the underground.
Pretty sure proxy chat is classified as game sounds, so Xbox sends it through with the other game sounds. Groups and party chat goes through the chat channel.

Here's my first hour in the Dark Zone condensed into 37 seconds.
I'm glad I tried this game out during the beta. I had zero interest in this game prior to playing it for myself, but now I'm a few steps from pre-ordering it.

It gets old quick, then something cool happens and then it gets old quick - rinse and repeat
The problem as I see it is that there is no grand end game, no over-arching lore, no real intrigue thats out there, youre just a normal as dude, shooting normal ass guns at other normal ass dudes
hopefully the story and story-telling is good
I prioritize my play style towards having more health than dps, or tech. You last longer during the face to face shoot out to see who drops first (also accounts if the other player has a weaker weapon). Also have all blue gear and a couple of purple attachments but still use some green gear that ups the overall health stat
Well I played the beta for the first time today on PS4 and enjoyed the hell out of it. I think I'll likely be buying this game now. Hooked me in a way that Destiny really didn't. My Saturday disappeared in a blink of an eye. Got my character up to PvE level 8, and PvP level 9. Played with friends for most of that time.
But, I still want to see how much depth will be there in the full game. That's the main reason Destiny let me down, the fact it ended up being painfully shallow.

Just a couple of impressions from a guy that was addicted to Destiny, and has played both the closed and open beta of this game:
-Do not like the damage buff to the DZ AI enemies. A little would have been fine, but this buff is very serious. Couple that with the haphazard ways enemies spawn, and you can end up with 2-3 enemies directly behind you while trying to extract. It just reeks of "unfair".
-I think this game is going to cause fights between friends. When Player A is sitting with half an inventory full of purples, and that lovable idiot Player B shoots somebody's drone and goes rogue, you are going to get mad.
-The content drought will be real. Granted I played both Betas, so I've seen everything there is, but fighting the same rotating factions of human enemies and grinding Dark Zone is going to get old super fast.
-The missions are ok, but there haven't been any real "wow" moments so far. Also, I'm sure they're trying to make you use strategies like "fall back" and "flank the enemy" but 99% of encounters are easier done by just camping near the entrance of a given area. Not sure how to get around this, but without the gunplay and maneuverability of Destiny to back it up, I think these are going to get old/boring really quick.
-Loot system feels pretty good. You don't get so much that you're worrying about micromanaging inventory, but you get enough that you're always looking at whatever piece you get.
-Outfits are super depressing. Probably going for the realism thing, but every coat I've got in this beta is either brown, blue, or grey.
Anyways, since my Destiny friends are on board, I'm of course going to play, since 90% of the fun I had in this game is due to them, but I honestly see this one being abandoned way quicker than Destiny.

yeah I'm not counting on that at all based on what we've seen so far
the game actively encourages you to skip the cutscenes cause they're so dull lol
i feel the same way.. destiny's content drought being at an all time low makes this games release convenient but it'll probably just hold me over for a little bit.. i don't see me playing it for a year like i did destiny
No offense but we don't know shit about endgame last I checked. It's a beta, you're not supposed to anyways.

The graphics and the sounds in this game is just amazing. It actually looks like real life at a few occasions!
The HUD kinda ruins it at times though.

The score is great, like a cross between John Carpenter & Mass Effect
